While this concept wasn't my own design, I was assigned to procure it in part to experience a wire EDM design flow, something about old dogs and new tricks. Like learning gd&t when...
Hi 3DDave,
The.00025 is the tolerance of each tapered hole in the steel base to its corresponding steel tapered shaft, in order to achieve a light press fit.
In my representative model, the .1 offset used to create the taper is driven by the vinyl profile tolerance. In this example the vinyl's...
Hi Burunduk,

This is a static assembly, and matching tapered holes, or cavities, in the base allow for an unchanging alignment, once all tapers are pressed in from below.
The actual tapered parts can have very small forms, making...

Hi group,
I'm Karl, new here, long time tech/mechanical designer, very limited GD&T experience. I have a concept that must be fabricated, and while I can describe it to a machine shop with plenty of words and hand waving (the way it was described...
